Yeah, it was more than just “Snatcher.” And any system whose games all have instantly playable soundtracks on the disc is awesome.

That’s the thing about this system – folks like to dismiss it now because it ended up being the first in the long series of missteps that took Sega out of the console business. But anyone who bothered to look found out that there are a decent amount of truly good or interesting games on the platform.

I once bought a Case Logic-style bible with about 30 Sega CD games from a thrift store that had Prize Fighter, among many others. I got on the Sega CD train MUCH later than most (about 2005). But I genuinely love the system, such as it was.

And actually, Sol Feace was released on cartridge, just renamed Sol Deace and sans any big animation sequences

The reason I remember Prize Fighter is because it was supposed to have been directed by the same dude that did the boxing sequences for Raging Bull and Rocky.

These are interesting as a fellow Sega CD owner. Though I think the only games I have for it that aren’t Genesis ports are Sol Feace (sp?) and Prize Fighter, I think it’s called. Crappy black and white FMV boxing game that is only memorable for it’s unintentionally hilarious acting.

Only if Ryo’s forklift turned into an inarticulate flying robot.

So you’re saying it belonged on the Shenmue soundtrack instead?

I have Android Assault and I’ve recently played my copy too, actually. You gave a pretty fair assessment – it’s not great, but a fun game if you find a used copy in a thrift store or something. I think I found it as part of the same lot when I got the JVC X’Eye and about 10 games for $20 back in Houston when I briefly lived there a couple years ago.

The music in the first stage is more befitting a forklift training video than a futuristic shooter, but who’s to say what they listen to in the future.
